25 seconds, all doors will unlock.
Pressing the UNLOCK button will also illuminate the interior lamps. (See “Illuminated Entry”
in the Index.)
All doors will lock when
LOCK is pressed.
The trunk will unlock when the opened trunk symbol is
pressed, but only when the ignition is off. The trunk
symbol will also work when the ignition is on, but only
while in PARK

Panic Mode
When the button with the horn symbol on the key

headlamps and taillamps will flash for up to two

the horn will chirp and the exterior lamps will flash
once. The system should now operate properly.

preference for programmable automatic door locks, key

of the car and close the door and
wait for the SECURITY light to
go out. Then reach in
through the window, unlock the door with the manual door
lock, and open the door.
This should set off the alarm.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to
see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown.
To replace the fuse, see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in the Index.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always activate the
theft-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.
If you set off the alarm by accident, unlock any door
with
